Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16 ounces of applesauce
- Convert ounces to grams: 16 × 28.35 = 453.59g
- 1 cup of applesauce = 244g
- 453.59g ÷ 244g/cup = 1.86 cups × 16 = 29.74 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ripeness affects density. Riper fruit mashes more smoothly and packs more densely per cup than firmer fruit. Weigh for the most consistent results.
